Description: This is a black and white graduate
fier to promote a graduate leadership confer-
ence.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I frst had to
create some sketches on what I wanted it to look
like. After that was done I picked the sketch I felt
would best work and made the layout using Ado-
be InDesign. I made the word "graduate" the big-
gest one you notice so that you know for whom
this fier is meant to attract. I used a different
font for contrast to "graduate." I decided to keep
my body copy small for simplistic reading. The
picture, information, and logo was given to me by
my communications teacher to make this fier.
Message: This fier is intended for recent college
graduates who want to learn leadership skills that
will help them land better jobs.
Audience:College graduates between the ages of
21-30.
Top Thing Learned: I learned the importance of
using font to create a professional look.

Event Ad
Description: This was what I created for my Event Ad
project. This is an ad that was designed to promote a
sponsored fundraiser. I could only use Microsoft Word
and a picture scanner.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I took an image that
I found from Motor Trend magazine and made a digital
copy using the school scanners. I cropped the photo in
half since it was a large picture. From there I used Word
to add it as the background for my event ad. I adjusted
the photo so that the front half of the car is shown. Then
I added grey boxes on the top and the bottom to match
the color of the car as closely as possible. I used white text
above and below the car, and kept the middle text black.
This helped to give contrast as well as make it easier for
the reader to fnd the fow. The grey boxes have black text
to give contrast as well.
Message: Three major car companies are holding an event
in Idaho Falls only to show off their new line of fancy cars.
Audience: This ads audience is centered around those
who love fancy cars.
Color scheme and color names: My color scheme focus
around black and white. I kept the blue and red colors on
the car only because I felt that it would show too much
contrast and end up ruining the fow of the ad as well.
Top Thing Learned: The biggest thing I have learned is
how to use Microsoft Word to make an effective ad. As an
English major, Ive only known Word as a way to get my
essay papers and stories written.

Scanned images used, sources, original sizes, location of
scanner used: The picture that I used can be found on Mo-

Photo Design
Description: The purpose of this assignment was
to teach good photography and also how to use
Photoshop to create a poster layout.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I had to frst
take 6 pictures that demonstrated the basic skills
of photography. I then picked the best photo to
use for my layout. I decided to use an analogous
color scheme to match the slight blue hue of the
statue. I used Photoshop to make the picture look
better by adjusting its hue, brightness, etc, by
using the eye dropper and other techniques that
I have learned. I then made color swatches to
demonstrate what colors I have used.
Message: The message is that that reading is like
dreaming with open eyes. Pretty straightforward.
Audience: My audience is those who like to read.
Top Thing Learned: I learned how to take photos
using rule of thirds, focus, and using light to your
advantage. Im still not very good at it, but I feel
that with practice I will get better.
Color scheme and color names: The color scheme
was analogous, and the color names are blue,
teal, and violet.

Date and location you took the photo(s): I took
this photo on May 19, by the McKay Library.
Montage
Description: This is a montage that was made by blending three
images into a forest background.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, Steps taken while designing): I
cropped the background image to 8.5 x 11. Then I selected the
images that I wanted to use from the internet. I moved Slender-
man, the Slender title, the blood smear, and the piece of paper
to their respected places and added masks to each one. With black
paint and 100% opacity, I removed the hard edges from each im-
age. Then I used about 30% opacity on Slenderman to give him the
ghostly look. I added a decorative font to the title that matched it as
close as possible, and a script font and blood smear to the paper to
make it look like it was hastily written before the writers demise. I
gave the blood smear a darker color. I then added a sharp flter to
the front tree because the assignment asked that we use a flter for
our project and also because I felt that it gave the tree a more fore-
boding look. I used Adobe Photoshop to do all of this.
Message: The message was to serve as a movie poster to announce
Slender: The Movie to the world.
Audience: Those who loved the indie video game and also those
who love scary movies.
Top Thing Learned: The top thing I learned was, of course, how to
mask and blend an image into a background.
Filter / Colorization used and where it was applied: As mentioned
above, I used a sharp flter on the front tree to give a more forebod-
ing look.
Color scheme and color names: I used mostly black, white, and
grey because of the images. I made the blood smear a brick color to
give the image a fash of color and make it more interesting to the
viewer.
Title Font Name & Category: Sand-Decorative
Copy Font Name & Category: Brush Script MT-Script (I know we
are never supposed to use script for body copy, but I did it because
if I used a serif or sans serif font it wouldnt give the feel that some-
one wrote something down on it)
Logos
Description: Three logos for the fctional compa-
ny Monkey Cee 3D Animations
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I learned how
to use the Direct Selection and Ellipsis tool to get
the shapes that I wanted for the tail on the y for
the frst logo and the monkeys head and speech
bubble on the bottom logo. I just used the rectan-
gle tool for the middle logo. Then I used topogra-
phy to enhance the message.
Message: Monkey Cee 3D Animations is the
place to go for your animation needs.
Audience: Anyone who is in the animation busi-
ness.
Top Thing Learned: How to use shapes to create
different shapes.
Three Color Scheme and Color Names: Top Logo:
Monologous (but with two different colors), red
and blue. Middle Logo: Triadic, red, blue, and
yellow. Bottom Logo: Big Split Complementary,
red, blue, yellow, and orange.

ries: Top Logo: Text, top text: Hobo STD Me-

Stationary
Description: This is a matching letterhead and
business card that both have matching logos
recently created.
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I did every-
thing on Adobe Illustrator. My original design
was a skull, but then someone mentioned it
looked like General Grievous from Star Wars
Episode 3, so I went with that. I used a picture of
his face and symbol from the internet and made
shapes that were similar to them. I purposely
made the symbol a little different to show that
I didnt just copy and paste it to my template.
I then made my text and placed them to their
appropriate spots. For the letterhead I made the
symbol as a water mark by enlarging it onto the
page and then lowering the opacity to 5%.
Message: This is the guy to talk to if you want
some Jedi taken care of.
Audience: Those who dont like Jedi and want
them gone.
Top Thing Learned: How to make letterheads
and business cards using self-made logos.
Color scheme and color names: Split complemen-
tary-Green and Red; Orange and blue.
Brochure
Description: A two-sided folding brochure
Process (Programs, Tools, Skills): I found the im-
ages I wanted on Google (links near the bottom).
I used Indesign to place the images where I want-
ed them. I made a little logo on Adobe Illustrator
and inserted that into the Indesign. I made it a
tooth since this was a brochure about dentistry. I
then added my heading and body text.
Message: The message is a joke about how people
use Photoshop to make themselves look better
(or worse) then they really are.
Audience: Anyone looking for a good laugh.
Top Thing Learned: The top thing I learned is
how to design a brochure to where I wanted it
folded.
Color scheme and color names: Unfortunately,
there is no color scheme.
